+or
+.ZN AllocAll .
+.ds Cm that you want to create, copy, set, or destroy

+.IP \fIdisplay\fP 1i
+Specifies the connection to the X server.
+.IP \fIvisual\fP 1i
+Specifies a visual type supported on the screen.
+If the visual type is not one supported by the screen,

+.IP \fIw\fP 1i
+Specifies the window \*(Wi.
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+The
+.ZN XCreateColormap
+function creates a colormap of the specified visual type for the screen
+on which the specified window resides and returns the colormap ID
+associated with it.
+Note that the specified window is only used to determine the screen.
+.LP
+The initial values of the colormap entries are undefined for the
+visual classes
+.ZN GrayScale ,
+.ZN PseudoColor ,
+and
+.ZN DirectColor .
+For
+.ZN StaticGray ,
+.ZN StaticColor ,
+and
+.ZN TrueColor ,
+the entries have defined values,
+but those values are specific to the visual and are not defined by X.
+For
+.ZN StaticGray ,
+.ZN StaticColor ,
+and
+.ZN TrueColor ,
+alloc must be
+.ZN AllocNone ,
+or a
+.ZN BadMatch
+error results.
+For the other visual classes,
+if alloc is
+.ZN AllocNone ,
+the colormap initially has no allocated entries,
+and clients can allocate them.
+For information about the visual types,
+see section 3.1.
+.LP
+If alloc is
+.ZN AllocAll ,
+the entire colormap is allocated writable.
+The initial values of all allocated entries are undefined.
+For
+.ZN GrayScale
+and
+.ZN PseudoColor ,
+the effect is as if an
+.ZN XAllocColorCells
+call returned all pixel values from zero to N \- 1,
+where N is the colormap entries value in the specified visual.
+For
+.ZN DirectColor ,
+the effect is as if an
+.ZN XAllocColorPlanes
+call returned a pixel value of zero and red_mask, green_mask,
+and blue_mask values containing the same bits as the corresponding
+masks in the specified visual.
+However, in all cases,
+none of these entries can be freed by using
+.ZN XFreeColors .
+.LP
+.ZN XCreateColormap
+can generate
+.ZN BadAlloc ,
+.ZN BadMatch ,
+.ZN BadValue ,
+and
+.ZN BadWindow
+errors.
+.LP
+The
+.ZN XCopyColormapAndFree
+function creates a colormap of the same visual type and for the same screen
+as the specified colormap and returns the new colormap ID.
+It also moves all of the client's existing allocation from the specified
+colormap to the new colormap with their color values intact
+and their read-only or writable characteristics intact and frees those entries
+in the specified colormap.
+Color values in other entries in the new colormap are undefined.
+If the specified colormap was created by the client with alloc set to
+.ZN AllocAll ,
+the new colormap is also created with
+.ZN AllocAll ,
+all color values for all entries are copied from the specified colormap,
+and then all entries in the specified colormap are freed.
+If the specified colormap was not created by the client with
+.ZN AllocAll ,
+the allocations to be moved are all those pixels and planes
+that have been allocated by the client using
+.ZN XAllocColor ,
+.ZN XAllocNamedColor ,
+.ZN XAllocColorCells ,
+or
+.ZN XAllocColorPlanes
+and that have not been freed since they were allocated.
+.LP
+.ZN XCopyColormapAndFree
+can generate
+.ZN BadAlloc
+and
+.ZN BadColor
+errors.
+.LP
+The
+.ZN XFreeColormap
+function deletes the association between the colormap resource ID
+and the colormap and frees the colormap storage.
+However, this function has no effect on the default colormap for a screen.
+If the specified colormap is an installed map for a screen,
+it is uninstalled (see
+.ZN XUninstallColormap ).
+If the specified colormap is defined as the colormap for a window (by
+.ZN XCreateWindow ,
+.ZN XSetWindowColormap ,
+or
+.ZN XChangeWindowAttributes ),
+.ZN XFreeColormap
+changes the colormap associated with the window to
+.ZN None
+and generates a
+.ZN ColormapNotify
+event.
+X does not define the colors displayed for a window with a colormap of
+.ZN None .
+.LP
+.ZN XFreeColormap
+can generate a
+.ZN BadColor
+error.
+.SH STRUCTURES
+The
+.ZN XColor
+structure contains:
+.LP
+.Ds 0
+.TA .5i 2.5i
+.ta .5i 2.5i
+typedef struct {
+ unsigned long pixel; /\&* pixel value */
+ unsigned short red, green, blue; /\&* rgb values */
+ char flags; /\&* DoRed, DoGreen, DoBlue */
+ char pad;
+} XColor;
+.De
+.LP
+The red, green, and blue values are always in the range 0 to 65535
+inclusive, independent of the number of bits actually used in the
+display hardware.
+The server scales these values down to the range used by the hardware.
+Black is represented by (0,0,0),
+and white is represented by (65535,65535,65535).
+.IN "Color"
+In some functions,
+the flags member controls which of the red, green, and blue members is used
+and can be the inclusive OR of zero or more of
+.ZN DoRed ,
+.ZN DoGreen ,
+and
+.ZN DoBlue .
+.SH DIAGNOSTICS
+.TP 1i
+.ZN BadAlloc
+The server failed to allocate the requested resource or server memory.
+.TP 1i
+.ZN BadColor
+A value for a Colormap argument does not name a defined Colormap.
+.TP 1i
+.ZN BadMatch
+An
+.ZN InputOnly
+window is used as a Drawable.
+.TP 1i
+.ZN BadMatch
+Some argument or pair of arguments has the correct type and range but fails
+to match in some other way required by the request.
+.TP 1i
+.ZN BadValue
+Some numeric value falls outside the range of values accepted by the request.
+Unless a specific range is specified for an argument, the full range defined
+by the argument's type is accepted. Any argument defined as a set of
+alternatives can generate this error.
+.TP 1i
+.ZN BadWindow
+A value for a Window argument does not name a defined Window.
